USF football coach Willie Taggart was the guest speaker Wednesday at the monthly luncheon of the Greater Temple Terrace Chamber of Commerce. Taggart spoke to the group on several topics but many found his discussion on mentoring highly enlightening.

“Without Jim Harbaugh and his dad and having those mentors, I don’t know who Willie Taggart would have been. Mentoring is so important to me. It’s a big, big requirement when it comes to being a coach on Coach Taggart’s staff. It’s one of the things I ask and drill coaches on when they come in to interview is being a mentor to our kids. I think they all need it, they all want it. It’s only right that we do it as coaches. We’ve experienced everything those kids are going through. That’s something that’s really important to me.”

Taggart previously served in the same capacity at Western Kentucky University (WKU) from 2009 to 2012, compiling a record of 16–20. He is currently the head football coach at the University of South Florida (USF), a position he assumed in December 2012. He became the first African American head football coach at both institutions.
